Damn YouTube's terms of use... they had to cut it off before the guy got eaten.

I think if the guy had a louder voice he could have spooked the bear... when he screamed the bear seemed to hesitate... thank god I have a ridiculously loud voice.

I don't understand... I would be making tons of noise... banging that stick on trees... etc...

or as I'm usually packing... I would have shot into the ground... not at him, cause that might not do too much.

And for the record... yes I would be shitting myself the entire time!

I don't think a hand gun will do as much as we'd like it to. Might just piss him off in the short term.

Not saying it's the right thing to do, but it's certainly what I'd be doing!

It's a loud unfamiliar noise. The bear would have been off and running.

An air horn is just as effective as bear spray in most cases. Unless it's an abnormally aggressive bear.

Speaking from experience, unless you're shooting a bear or moose or anything with bird shot, they'll be off and running.

We used to cut our bird shot at the wad and leave it hanging by a small piece when we were walking through the bush in bear area. It would only take a second to pop in the cut round and you essentially had a full slug.
